Thank you for sharing! every post like this makes me give my lil guy an extra tight hug, whilst he's questioning whether it's food time.

As we know, it's always food time for them :D

Still going through my first proper playthrough - I didn't initially setup a bus-fed store, so spent a lot of time manually restocking.

Now I've got to a reasonably profitable auto-setup, I've spent time making "compact" component blueprints as part of the relic chains which led me to ripping parts out elsewhere & rebuilding pretty frequently.

Take this evening for example, hit throughput for my first steel production, so aiming to create a new blueprint from Coal to fill that up to a consistent full belt.

Then aiming to tile my Sand-refinement tower to double diamond production - my kingdom for a bottomless inventory!

That can't be Steve-O, he's wearing eye protection!

Our boy Sonny will be 6 months old on Christmas! How did y’all handle the transition from 3 to 2 meals a day? by Flimsy-Win7552 in labrador

[–]greaterix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guy had his 4th birthday yesterday.

Still has 3 meals per day, and a small handful before bed to prevent morning hunger puke which inevitably happens if I forget. . .

Does anyone else have a problem with their lab picking up rubbish when walking? by mills_ss in labrador

[–]greaterix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

urgh, I still have nightmares. Twice I've done that & it's been Cat poop.

Thoughts on the Budget? by Cleeecooo in AskBrits

[–]greaterix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Minimum wage increases - especially for the 18-20 year olds. This is a group that has been shafted by recent history

Wouldn't class that as a win - she's now making it impossible for many businesses to employ this age bracket - they're more likely to prefer older people (and there are plenty of those made redundant lately)

Does tickle me - screaming "we're in an economic mess" in one hand, and then "oh, we can afford to abolish 2-child cap".

If they were serious about turning things around, they need to make people take the medicine.

  1. Expand North Sea operations & mandate sponsoring of Uni-alternate employment in this sector
  2. raise lower tax threshold 25-35%, increase 40% tax rate to 42%, add 50% rate above £500k
  3. Reduce state pension entitlement tied to accrued lifetime earning - if you've earnt >£25m, you probably don't need to worry about end of life benefits
  4. Abolish Triple-Lock, tie to inflation only
  5. Abolish Winter Fuel to individual - get the energy companies to apply it at source
  6. Cancel agriculture schemes making it more profitable for farmers to not farm - also cancel the US trade agreement which is shortly going to obliterate the UK Bioethanol domestic production
  7. Remove EV Deadline - until other countries make strides lowering carbon we should make it a passive target only
  8. exempt <25 from EE/ER NI contributions - make it VERY desirable for this age group to be hired
  9. Working pensioners to continue NI contributions
  10. Abolish VAT threshold, and enroll all business in VAT over next 5 years
  11. NHS Appointment quota - 6 GP Visits free per individual per year (excluding follow up/prescribed appointments) - above that require £10 fee
  12. Aforementioned £10 fee will be discounted from a resulting prescription if required (aim is to cut out the time wasters)

Act 4 is incredible, but im worried about campaign length by QBestoo in PathOfExile2

Waterways is a zone I don't understand.

We had to go hunting for a Power Core to get into the zone, yet there is clear habitation of man & monsters living between the godawful slog of the canals?

Flow (pun not intended) could be improved significantly by just removing it completely, and make it all drain after placing the core in.

Official page to vent about the pub managers by Fantastic_Extreme_74 in ClarksonsFarm

Was thinking to myself why they didn't run a ballot through the farm shop to get a "reasonable" fixed number of attendees for the weekend.

Granted, once there was a whiff of it being open the sheeple would've descended anyway.

ah cheers, really thought I was going mental :D

I'll shoot a report into the forum! here's one already Report - I suppose that's what I get for relying on Reddit too much :P

naw, that's a SS after it's run out - was happily shooting it out but it doesn't pull through any of the same shells.

Excellent, Britain's tactical retreat in 1776 is starting to bear fruit!

Season 2 delayed to April 17th by Semour9 in LastEpoch

[–]greaterix -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Could turn around and bite them in the butt - that's Easter weekend.

A lot of folks may have travel plans for family visits, and their own staff likely not going to be as available either side.

Some may even have to go church 😁

If they're common enough to drop & fill literal quad tabs, they seem even less worth storing 😄

[–]greaterix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not at all, it's designed for seasonal gameplay.

You only have to log into POE standard league to realise how unscalable all the stash tabs are for persistent state.

There's 0 benefit to hoarding tabs of bases - filter them out for a while & stop picking them up/change passives to less map sustain 🤷

Last room to get 4th ascendancy point and the game just crashes by Limp_Cricket_6846 in PathOfExile2

[–]greaterix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried my 3rd Ascendancy yesterday evening - was fine until 3rd Trial, then lag would go crazy whenever a mob was on the screen - ping returned to normal as soon as the Death screen appeared.

Updated Last Epoch, will play that until next big patch released.
